Bulbs, bulbs, and more bulbs!

Cherry Ong is taking us along to see saltation atButchart Gardensin British Columbia . This garden is notable for over - the - top display ofspring bulbsandannuals , which paint the whole space with giant swath of semblance . One of the most iconic piece of the garden is the sink garden , and often we see exposure take from the ground above , looking down at the plants . But today Cherry is accept us down into the garden and looking up and around at the beauty to be find there .

Coordinated swaths of tulip ( Tulipahybrids , Zones 3–8 ) and late daffodils ( Narcissushybrids , Zones 3–8 ) blossom together . The tulip in front are underplanted with forget - me - not ( Myosotissylvatica , Zones 3–8 ) to add a layer of blue around the larger tulip flower .

Here the colors are raging , with the beds in the foreground underplanted with English daisy ( Bellisperennis , Zones 4–8 ) in pinkish and red . They sum up a bed of colour even when the light bulb in the bed are not in flower .

lily-livered tulip are like a puddle of cheerfulness on the ground .

Daffodilsandtulipsplanted together broaden the show , and allow an added dimension to the color .

After they bloom , all these bed will be rip out and replaced with annuals for the summer display .

The landscape around the sunken garden is striking and beautiful as well .

As beautiful as the bulbs are , this incredible oldJapanese maple(Acerpalmatum , Zones 5–9 ) is breathtaking . Now , right before the leaves flush out , you’re able to see the incredible intricate contour of the torso .
